The VST-V8 Variable Stride Trainer is designed and manufactured to meet or exceed all domestic and 
international safety standards. However, certain precautions need to be followed when operating any 
exercise equipment. 

General safety instructions:

 

1.  It is important to consult your physician before any exercise program.

He/she can help determine the exercise program that is the most appropriate for your age and 
physical condition. 

3.  If you experience dizziness, nausea, chest pains or other abnormal symptoms during exercise, stop 

the exercise session immediately. Consult your physician before continuing your exercise.

moving parts, which could result in serious injury.

Product safety instructions:

 

1. 

Start your exercise program gradually. Exercise only for a few minutes the first day to let your body 
adjust to the new exercise.

 

2.  Slowly increase your exercise time and intensity over the first two weeks. If you increase your 

intensity too rapidly, or fail to warm up properly, you can increase the risk of injury.

high voltage or electromagnetic fields. 

6.  Whenever mounting or dismounting from the exercise machine, make sure that the unit is not in 

motion and use caution to prevent injury. Use the handlebars or a helper whenever additional 
stability is required. 

7.  Make sure that all components are fastened securely including but not limited to seat, pedals, 

handlebars, or any electric components. 

8.  Never place any open containers of any type directly on the unit, only containers with lids are 

recommended to be used with the appropriate water bottle holder.  

9.  Keep machine clear of any obstructions, heavy machinery, and never place objects on or against 

machine.  

10. DANGER: Always unplug the power cord before performing maintenance. 
11. Failure to follow these instructions will void the units warranty and the manufacturer or distributor 

assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damages related to the product if unit is
